Should be OK

You’ll see all your favourite Pakistan players, like Mohammad Imran, Mohammad Imran Jr, Said Baig, and Arafat Minhas! And they’ll all be signing autographs.

They had an interview with him (and Jimmy/Broad) during the last test, it was really interesting to listen to!

Yeah i listened, he spoke really well. He was also on Tailenders. He’s has such a whirlwind of a week but he deserves it. Hes so incredibly talented

Had missed this story so Googled him and found the BBC article:

After “criticism” eh? Rather than “after criticism relating to allegations of rape”? As always, fuck BBC News

Ashes ballots are open. Have gone for days 1-3 of the Trent Bridge test

Wow that is awfully reporting, I was going to post the detail but the one article from before is rather grim when you hear the defence statements

I’m not sure I can bring myself to do it at those prices.

Only going to go for one day, just upping my chance of getting a ticket

Put in for day 1 and 2 at Edgbaston. Looked at the prices after lol.

Hospitality being “from £349” caught my eye (bearing in mind it’s £165 for a normal ticket in the Eric Hollies) but when I clicked through it was £800 for Days 1-3.

Edgbaston seems to be the only one allowing more than 2 tickets so probably go there.

(I know 2 people could register but my friends are fucking useless)

Didn’t even see that prices could be seen

Yeah using ‘from’ and being day 4 prices is a joke. Just need to club together £13.3k between 12 of us for a box for the day. Wish I was rich because having experienced it a few times through work hospitality for cricket is the way to go compared to football.

Hospitality is already for sale, with a lot sold out.

Went out in a different email apparently, maybe a members one due to priority window. These are the prices for Edgbaston

It’s my 50th birthday on day 4 of the Trent Bridge test, decided it was a once-in-a-lifetime point. Bought a Notts membership £250 and 4 tickets (95 each). Will be sitting here

From doing this I can also tell you that days 1-3 are almost sold out.

I also have only accounted for three of the four tickets so far, so watch this space.

Doesn’t sound good for my chances of getting them on general sale. I missed out on the Priority Club window at the ground I want to go to as they sold it out almost straight away. That’s how I got some tickets last time.

You can get a day 5 tickets for the Pakistan test at Edgbaston for £30, which bumps you up the queue a bit
